Sega's 1997 arcade title, Top Skater, used a hydraulic platform to simulate skateboarding. Now we can have the slightly cheaper version courtesy of the Wii Balance Board.

An alternative for those of us not blessed with a Balance Board will be the familiar Wii-mote wagglin' we've all come to know and love. For the DS the wagglin' will be stylus based.

When I know more about how exactly this will work, I'll post the info here.

Well I'll let the NPD data speak for itself. I only wish I could see the faces of all the doubters. Nintendo Wii a fad? Couldn't have got that more wrong could you.

Some people believe that games need a good story and different difficulties to be a great game. This game throws that logic out the window. With minimal story and one difficulty, the game might seem like it would be dull. In reality, this game is the highlight of the year.
Story: Minimal; you are a robot trying to go through levels and destroy targets
Difficulty: It ranges from extremely easy to something only experts can solve
Controls: very smooth button controls, and touch screen level editor
sound: you don't need music when you can hear millions of things exploding

This is official / Comes direct from a company press release / interview

Now we all know that Nintendo is enjoying it's success. Wii and DS continue to dominate the charts across the world. So what's different this week. Well this week the numbers are beyond impressive.

"Indeed, so entrenched was Nintendo's dominance in the UK last week that 29 of the top 40-selling titles were for either the Wii or DS, including the entire top 10"

Pretty impressive stuff - That article brought out the Nintendo haters and therefore my anger :(

In fact it's inspired me to write a whole piece on the subject
